I’m thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I’d be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I’d love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I’m sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.

    Stirling Castle is the most castley castle anywhere.

    Kilsyth town is a terrible place but the area around it is really nice. Loch Banton and Colzium estate, especially in the autumn rain. Auchinstarry Quarry. There are the remains of the Antonine wall around there (this is as far north as the Roman empire got).

      To add, if you’re doing Stirling Castle then pop over to the Wallace Monument too.
